The things I wanna say about them I cannot on tumblr dot gov
Gimme chubby Varian headcanons
And Hugo’s life with donella headcanons
And Cyrus and Hugo headcanons
That's what our discord DMs are for teehee
SO WHAT I CAN SAY HERE FOR THESE
- Varian's weight fluctuates REALLY easily. When he was younger and living with his dad he was like, mostly baby fat, but he helped around the house and cooked good food, so he stayed a pretty healthy weight overall, if not a little bit chubby. Prison was a ROUGH go, and even though he was only there for a year of his life, that was more than enough time to lose that weight. He was sad, sick, and depressed. He looked awful. After prison, when he got closer to Rapunzel, he put on a lot more weight because now he can afford good foods (and looots of sweets)! He's a spoiled and chubby little guy! Good for him!
- HUGO AND DONELLA. HOOOHHHHH. I think when she first picked him up off the street, she saw his potential. She saw he was smart, cunning, and resourceful. Someone who, despite his age, would be a MAJOR benefit to her. Donella is an incredibly smart woman, and has plenty of underlings. But the difference with Hugo is that he would be more than capable of toppling the tower she's built. As he grows up he gets taller, smarter, and stronger. But Donella keeps him on a tight leash, and the things she knows keep that leash even tighter. Hugo knows better than to defy her. She has so much blackmail, and no amount of physical advantage is going to erase that.
- I love u for asking me about Cyrus, mwah. I think. Cyrus is in a similar boat to Hugo. Maybe emotional manipulation and blackmail is just Donella's go-to. Cyrus is more than capable of snapping anyone like a goddamn twig. But I think deep down he's a tired old man with a heart. He just has to push it down in this line of work. But he's not stupid. He sees how Donella treats Hugo, and the way he shies away from her, no matter how small those movements may be. He's not in a position, DESPITE how strong he is, to do or say anything about it. But he does soften up on Hugo to try and get him to realize that he's got his back when worse comes to worse. There's a mutual understanding there that they've got each other's back. Even if neither of them are willing to actually be emotionally vulnerable with each other.
